Back to School 2008.....

where oh where did our summer go?? it can't possibly be over??? it is. sad, but true. the kids were pretty excited this morning, but jared said to me 'mom, i am a little scared.' i was surprised, because he usually just goes with the flow, so we talked about it and he is fine. it is just one of those bitter-sweet days for me......i love having the kids home and doing fun things with them, yet i also enjoy the quiet of only having two kids home, keeping the house clean, and being able to get a lot of extra things done! i am completely shocked that annie is a middle schooler now. 5th grade! i have very vivid memories of 5th grade. (i may or may not have had a 'boyfriend' that i may or may not have held hands with at recess, in a large circle with my friends) YIKES! jared is in second grade....CRAZY. and katie is a first grader!! i will post individual pictures of them after school, with the highlights of their day later......here are the crazy ones from this morning.


also, i KNOW i am WAY behind on my blogging and am going to try to catch up our summer as soon as I can. thanks for the patience from you all. hopefully you won't get sick of the next few posts! :)
